Director sues actor Michael Madsen

Filmmaker Douglas Green claims that he paid Madsen $20,000 (£12,850) to star in his movie Vigilante. Green says that Madsen agreed, but then bailed on the project during a production delay, reports TMZ.

The director alleged that the Reservoir Dogs star later asked him for another $20,000 to do the movie, but Green refused to pay and Madsen failed to finish the movie.

Green is seeking $100,000 (£64,250) in damages in the suit.

Madsen, who still claims that Green owes him money, plans to file a counter suit, his rep reported.
